TYM's Confirmed Prophet/Time-Traveler
Found this tech today while testing some stuff out against D'Vorah in training mode. While holding block in a block string, you are able to mash out your poke while blocking and once the string is over your poke will come out on pretty much the first available frame (while you are still holding block). Check the video for a more in depth look. I really doubt that this was done intentionally because it seems reallllly good to little old me.
EDIT: I was testing some more and this also works with any normal or special. For example, I was able to input Cassie's backflip while still holding block to interrupt D'Vorah's f11~bug spray. This is more of a true option select because if you mistime interrupting the string gap, you will still be holding block and safe.
Keep in mind this will only work on string gaps or during special cancel windows that can be interrrupted by a non-EX move, since obviously you would have to let go of block and hit it again with the command to do the EX version...
Thanks to Mike Metroid for helping to test this out
